Why Make Bots?

I have a history of making bots, on multiple sites. I recently came back to RS (2007). I just came across this site and it looks very well done and high quality. There are not many bots right now and I would love to make more as I really enjoy it.

My only problem is, only 3 of the bots I saw were premium and they were all RS3 bots. If I make a bot I'd like to make it well and be proud of it, as it will represent me. And making a bot well takes time. I just don't see what the incentive is to make them. So here are my questions:

@Bot makers: Why do you make bots, whats your motivation?@Bot users: What kind of things would you be willing to pay for?

I've been involved in botting communities for over 6 years. Not sure what my motivation used to be, I simply enjoyed it and always did it for absolutely nothing. I think I still would do it for free, but having the option to make extra money from it motivates me that extra bit to deliver.

Not to mention the dank team we have motivates each other to make more scripts bots

Wow. Thanks for all the replies so fast. @EvilCabbage - RSBuddy and Powerbot mostly.

And to all the people who said they code for fun, I wish I had the luxury so spend a ton of hours making bots. But I need to pay the rent and right now that means making websites for people (shoutout to Ruby on Rails). I really miss making bots and would love to return to it and if I have some free time I might start hacking something together. Between the website and the community here I am super impressed and hope to join you "Bot Author"s (not script bot writer anymore, eh?) in the future.

^^ This. It's literally the only reason I started developing bots.
In fact, I hate everything about Runescape except its quests.
Even though I would like to keep developing bots, this 16-year old has stopped because of a pressing need to move forward with his career in preparation for college.
